Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0850652A2] An endotracheal pressure monitoring and medication system includes an endotracheal tube having a primary lumen (16) and a secondary lumen (14) with a connector (6) having an outside diameter configured to provide a frictional fit with a Y-tube (18) and a tubular conduit with an outside diameter providing a frictional fit with a proximal end of the endotracheal tube. The connector includes a passageway extending from the tubular conduit to a fitting whereby medication can be applied or pressure can be monitored. A sleeve member extends about on a seal to the endotracheal tube with a cantilevered branch tube (10) providing fluid communication with the secondary lumen. The cantilevered branch tube can be connected to a flexible tube (12) member to enable either the application of medication or the monitoring of pressure. A pressure monitor is capable of measuring the pressure from either the opening of the secondary lumen (14) in the trachea of the patient and/or the connector (6) whereby gases can be sampled and pressure can be individually monitored or differentially monitored to provide a pneumotach measurement at an optimum location relative to the patient's airways. <IMAGE>
